That means to me dbbackex.exe could be started and the bkup_logs.bch file
could be read???

Has anyone a clue what I missed out?
Any help is highly appreciated !

Re: Start NetBackup from SQLSERVERAgent

I realise that this original post was some time ago but I only just encountered
the problem and can post a solution.

It would appear that Netbackup creates temporary DSN entries (I was using
dbbackex.exe and calling the exe via SQL Agent). The error is question is
due to the fact that the account running the backup (i.e. the SQL Agent account
in my case) does not have permissions to modify the ODBC.INI in the registry
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI).

Modify the registry and also give the account full access to the VERITAS
folder on the C: drive and things will hopefully work.
